    Starting With Us

    We are looking forward to meeting you! Our midwives are committed to learning about your and your preferences. We’ll spend the first appointment getting to know you, reviewing your medical history, and discussing questions you may have. If you are just learning you are pregnant, know we can be a place where you receive your prenatal care from the start.

    Transferring Care

    Moving your pregnancy care to a new provider can feel like a big change, especially if you have been with your provider for years and years! We hope to establish a nurting and trusting relationship, and part of that will be learning about why birth center care sounds attractive to you. We hope people who consider transferring to OBC will feel the difference from their first appointment. If you are curious about transferring, we plan to accept clients even into their 3rd trimester!

    Through every step of your care, we will meet you right where you are at. If you are looking for additional resources to help with preparing for birth, learning about newborn care, or professional referrals once you are home with your infant, our team is here to help you and our aftercare is ongoing.
